Su Rong admired.
Mister Cui truly proved himself as the head of the Qinghe Cui Family.
She said with emotion, "Your maternal grandfather is incredible. Just considering the debt of gratitude I owe to your two cousins for coming to my rescue, once we repulse Dawei, if Nanchu can hold, I will definitely provide a future to your two cousins and thus to the Cui family they represent."
Zhou Gu’s lips curved into a smile, "Then I will tell them to work harder."
Su Rong nodded, she also smiled at Zhou Gu, "Alright."
Today, with the addition of defense mechanisms built by the Evil Ghost Sect, Nanchu’s city defense has obviously been much easier. Zhang Yun was also able to leisurely turn around and saw Su Rong and Zhou Gu sitting in the carriage, peeking out from the curtain, they never got off the carriage, they were talking and laughing. Zhou Gu did not display the dark expression from yesterday, looking as if he was about to explode.
He let out a soft chuckle, then ordered someone, "Go inform the Princess and the fourth young master to go back and rest. Dawei will certainly not breach Heiya Pass today."
This person agreed and promptly left.
He quickly descended from the city wall and came to the carriage where Su Rong and Zhou Gu sat. After bowing, he relayed Zhang Yun’s words.
Su Rong nodded, readily agreed, "Alright, we’ll go rest then."
After saying that, she turned her head to Zhou Gu and asked, "Shall we go?"
Zhou Gu had no objection, they had only come to look around, now that Zhang Yun and Cui Xingzhi were in charge of holding the city, and with Zhang Mao and Ning Ze being present, they could rest assured.
So, he casually lowered the curtain and instructed the coachman to return to the residence.
The carriage exited, and the pair left directly.
Cui Xingzhi saw all this and felt comfortable, he asked Zhang Yun, "Brother Zhang Yun, is that woman, the head of Poison Doctor Sect Luo Yan?"
Zhang Yun turned around, looked at a woman dressed in red below the city, and nodded, "It’s her."
Cui Yanjin, who was previously fiddling with the concealed weapons of the Evil Ghost Sect, immediately ran over when he heard this, "Which one is Luo Yan?"
Cui Xingzhi held him back, "Our cousin specifically mentioned that our task is to defend the city. As long as Dawei doesn’t use powerful siege cannons, we will not open the city gate today. You shouldn’t run down and fight people."
Cui Yanjin nodded repeatedly, "I just want to look and recognize people. Cousin, you previously told our cousin that I know my limits, why are you worried about me now?"
Cui Xingzhi let go of him, "As long as you know your limits, that’s fine."
Despite his daring personality, Cui Yanjin indeed has a sense of proportion. He said confidently: "I’m just here to recognize people today. When I’m ready to fight her, I’ll do it. I remember our cousin’s words well, we are waiting for reinforcements. Dawei’s army of 800,000 soldiers, even after several battles, they’ve only lost about one or two tens of thousands. But it’s different for us, Nanchu. According to reports, we suffered losses of forty to fifty thousand. We started with a gap in military strength and the gap is even bigger now. If we open the city gate and fight them, it is not profitable. Let them attack the city, we will defeat more with less. Just like today, see it? Dawei soldiers are all afraid of the concealed weapons added to our city wall. They are afraid and dare not come forward. Whoever does die in a row. I believe it won’t take long for Dawei to be unable to bear such casualties and orders to retreat."
Cui Xingzhi nodded.
"And the city gate, the reinforced gate we dealt with yesterday, now there are no siege cannons, no matter how they hit it, it just shakes a little. They can’t break it by hitting it like this." Cui Yanjin chuckled.
Cui Xingzhi also laughed, "When Heiya Pass was built, it was said to be the work of skilled craftsmen. The reinforced city gate and city wall were regarded as Nanchu’s natural barriers. There is a reason for this. If it were a normal city gate, it would have collapsed during the siege cannon bombardment."
Zhang Yun, listening to their conversation, also laughed, "Thanks to the people of the Evil Ghost Sect, the use of mechanism techniques in city defense is truly like adding wings to a bird."
Cui Yanjin was very proud, "My mom and maternal grandfather are really reliable, they knew they could be used."
He started talking to Zhang Yun, "Big brother Zhang, you don’t know. When I left home, my mom didn’t send anyone with me. I was like a poor little cabbage. Who knew that when I was halfway to the border of Nanchu, I found out that my maternal grandfather sent the entire Evil Ghost Sect to wait for me. I was moved to tears at that moment. I regretted not hugging my mom before I left."
Zhang Yun chuckled, "Wait until we receive the reinforcements, when Dawei retreats, and the situation in Nanchu has stabilized, then you can send a letter to invite your parents to visit Nanchu." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Cui Yanjin nodded, "They will definitely be happy to come. They were actually very tired of staying in the family these past few years. If it weren’t for their uncles and grandfather insisting on keeping them in the family to teach me and accompany me to school, they would have left already."
Zhang Yun didn’t know much about the affairs of the Qinghe Cui family, but he knew that the famous couple from the Qinghe Cui family was quite unorthodox. He smiled and said:"You are extremely fortunate to have such parents. It means you are blessed."
Cui Yanjin scratched his head and thought it was okay. From a young age, he always did his own work, while his cousins his age never had to do anything. They had a large number of servants, which made him feel quite incompatible with them. But they didn’t have to learn forcefully what they were studying, because his parents also despised it. They said that some things were useless to learn, but they also couldn’t oppose the elders publicly all the time, so they would help him cheat secretly and teach him how to be obedient on the outside and adverse on the inside. Because there were too many family members in the family, there were always some who liked to pick quarrels because of their characters. If they didn’t talk behind his back, they would mock him for being barbaric and not sophisticated, not being able to recite even one piece of literary work. He didn’t respond, he just beat them, or sprinkled some poison to make people suffer from stomach aches for three days, or make their faces full of blemishes. With this, no one dared to say anything about him later, even behind his back. He felt he was living quite freely, and had a lot of autonomy. For example, this time when he wanted to come to Nanchu with his cousin, his parents agreed without a word, telling him to roll as fast as he could, saying that he was less cute as he got older, and they were happier without him in sight.
Cui Xingzhi smiled, "The little cousin is the most envied person from the Qinghe Cui household."
Cui Yanjin turned his head to look at Cui Xingzhi, blinked non-stop, "Cousin, isn’t your wording reversed? Shouldn’t you be the one who is envied by all the offspring of the Qinghe Cui family? Where do I come in?"
Cui Xingzhi shook his head, "It’s you."
Cui Yanjin didn’t believe it, he thought that Cui Xingzhi must have said this because he was brain weary due to lack of sleep.
Cui Xingzhi saw that he didn’t understand and didn’t explain. He looked again at the outside of the wall, Luo Yan was leading the people of the Poison Doctor Sect, holding shields for cover, trying to climb the city wall. Meanwhile, people from the Evil Ghost Sect were stepping up their efforts, the concealed weapons fired by the use of mechanism techniques had doubled in speed, making it impossible for them to approach.
It could be clearly seen that Luo Yan’s face had turned green with anger.
